THE SEVEN HERMETIC PRINCIPLES.
"The Principles of Truth are Seven; he who knows these, understandingly, possesses the Magic Key before whose touch all the Doors of the Temple fly open."
The Seven Hermetic Principles, upon which the entire Hermetic Philosophy is based, are as follows:
I. THE PRINCIPLE OF MENTALISM.
II. THE PRINCIPLE OF CORRESPONDENCE.
III. THE PRINCIPLE OF VIBRATION.
lV. THE PRINCIPLE OF POLARITY.
V. THE PRINCIPLE OF RHYTHM.
VI. THE PRINCIPLE OF CAUSE AND EFFECT.
VII. THE PRINCIPLE OF GENDER.
Man has two ways of studying the universe. The first is by induction:
he examines phenomena, classifies them, and attempts to infer laws and principles from
them. This is the method generally used by science. The second is by deduction: having
perceived or had revealed or discovered certain general laws and principles, he attempts
to deduce the application of these laws in various specialised studies and in life. This is
the method generally used by religion. The first method begins with 'facts' and attempts
to reach 'laws'. The second method begins with 'laws' and attempts to reach 'facts'.
These two methods belong to the working of different human functions. The first is
the method of the ordinary logical mind, which is permanently available to us. The
second derives from a potential function in man, which is ordinarily inactive for lack
of nervous energy of sufficient intensity, and which we may call higher mental
function. This function, on the rare occasions of its operation, reveals to man laws in
action, he sees the whole phenomenal world as the product of laws.
